Coloured suite to white in Shaw, Wiltshire
Our technicians come to Shaw for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Shaw
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wiltshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Shaw
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials 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 a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shaw. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Shaw questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
