Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Prizet homes
We travel to Prizet for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Prizet
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Prizet?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Prizet
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Prizet?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LA8 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in Prizet and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
