Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Shobrooke
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Shobrooke. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Shobrooke
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Shobrooke
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EX17 postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare 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, generally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When to call us in Shobrooke
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
- Aftercare advice
Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
