Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Shop Corner
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
If you’re in Shop Corner and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
