How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Shelley
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- 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.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace in Shelley?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Common questions in Shelley
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What affects the price in Shelley
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole suite
If you’re in Shelley and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
