How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Poltimore?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
