How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Shardlow, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Shardlow
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Shardlow
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shardlow as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. 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.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Common questions in Shardlow
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you work in Shardlow?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shardlow and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
