What affects the price in Riverside
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Riverside, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Riverside
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Riverside
Do you come to Riverside?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Riverside and the rest of Newport. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Riverside?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Riverside is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
When a repair is not the answer
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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
