Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, whatever the material.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire suite
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WS4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Shelfield questions

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Shelfield?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the whole of Walsall?
All of Walsall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Shelfield, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repair or replace in Shelfield?
