- 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Southside
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Birmingham. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Southside questions
Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?
All of Birmingham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you come to Southside?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Southside from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Southside and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Southside customers choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Typically one visit, start to finish

- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
