Coloured bath resurfacing in Rockbeare without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Rockbeare

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

FAQs for Rockbeare

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Rockbeare. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
