Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Smethwick homes
We travel to Smethwick for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Smethwick
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Smethwick and across Sandwell. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Smethwick. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Smethwick get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Smethwick: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you cover Smethwick?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Smethwick and the rest of Sandwell. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
