About our coloured bath resurfacing in Smithies
A full suite is usually 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 faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Smithies
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you come to Smithies?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Smithies from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What else we do in Smithies

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Smithies?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairing versus replacing in Smithies
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Smithies. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A fixed quote before booking
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Everything repaired in place

Landlord and trade work in Smithies
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
