About our coloured bath resurfacing in Selston
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Selston
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Selston
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are there extra charges for Selston?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you come to Selston?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Selston and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Selston?
Prices start 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. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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, usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Selston
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
