Coloured bath resurfacing in South Bents, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Questions from South Bents
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in South Bents?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Are there extra charges for South Bents?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you come to South Bents?
We do. Technicians travel to South Bents from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What affects the price in South Bents
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole suite
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 will reply with a fixed price.

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 with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Bents use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Common problems we fix in South Bents
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
