We travel to Silvergate for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Silvergate, done in place
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Silvergate, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Silvergate. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Silvergate questions
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are there extra charges for Silvergate?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
