Our technicians come to Shipton for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Shipton
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Questions from Shipton
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
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. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What affects the price in Shipton
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Shipton

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Take a look at our pricing or bath cost comparison.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Landlord and trade work in Shipton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
