Coloured bath resurfacing in Scraptoft without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Scraptoft. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Scraptoft questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
Everywhere in the UK, Scraptoft included. Travel is included in the price.
