How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Sharples
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Sharples and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Sharples
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Sharples included. Travel is included in the price.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
