How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Sopwell
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Sopwell questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Sopwell.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Sopwell?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are 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 fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sopwell as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs

Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
