Coloured bath resurfacing in Somerton, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Somerton
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
FAQs for Somerton
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
