Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Everything repaired in place
- One price list for the entire UK
See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Shop, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix 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, normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage

- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered

Other services in Shop
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for Shop
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Shop?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shop and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What affects the price in Shop
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
