Coloured bath resurfacing in Semer without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Semer

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Semer, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common questions in Semer

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repairing versus replacing in Semer

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Honest limits

We will not take on work 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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