Coloured bath resurfacing in Soulby, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Soulby
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire suite
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
