About our coloured bath resurfacing in Shelvin
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Shelvin
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shelvin as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What affects the price in Shelvin
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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.
Materials we work on in Shelvin
- Coloured shower trays

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Shelvin
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Most customers in Shelvin get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Shelvin?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
