About our coloured bath resurfacing in River
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in River
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to River. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
