Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shirley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Shirley without replacing anything
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shirley and across Derbyshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shirley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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)

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Shirley
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
