Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Shawford
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Shawford
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Shawford?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BA11 postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us

- One-year guarantee on every repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
What affects the price in Shawford
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Shawford. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
