DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Snelston Common
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Snelston Common
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
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 before the end of a tenancy.
What affects the price in Snelston Common
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job without visiting.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Repairing versus replacing in Snelston Common
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
