Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Shorwell homes
Our technicians come to Shorwell for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Coloured bath resurfacing in Shorwell without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Most clients in Shorwell get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Shorwell
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can I add another job to the visit?

Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Shorwell included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
When to call us in Shorwell
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
