Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Shipton Gorge
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Shipton Gorge questions
Do you come to Shipton Gorge?
We do. We send a technician to Shipton Gorge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Shipton Gorge?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Repair or replace in Shipton Gorge?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually.

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
