Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Sorbie homes
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white in Sorbie, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Coloured bath resurfacing in Sorbie without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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)

Sorbie questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are there extra charges for Sorbie?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Sorbie, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
