Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Shalford
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you come to Shalford?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Shalford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BA9 postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
