Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Sheldon

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Questions from Sheldon

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Birmingham.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Sheldon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sheldon use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
