Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Pennington
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Pennington
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Repairing versus replacing in Pennington
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Pennington
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Pennington.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your LA12 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Pennington. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pennington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
