- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Advice
Repair or replace in Sowerby?
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. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Sowerby

Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Sowerby?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
