The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Shipley
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shipley and across Bradford. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.
What affects the price in Shipley
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Shipley questions
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
