Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Rushyford homes
Local coloured bath resurfacing for Rushyford: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Rushyford, done in place
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Rushyford?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Rushyford: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key 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, generally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Rushyford. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
