About our coloured bath resurfacing in Shotley
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit.

Common questions in Shotley
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.
Do you work in Shotley?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Shotley and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Landlord and trade work in Shotley
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
