Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Shaw Green
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Shaw Green: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Shaw Green is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Shaw Green
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Common problems we fix in Shaw Green
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
