Coloured bath resurfacing in Spondon, done in place
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Spondon questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What else we do in Spondon
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Spondon use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means 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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Spondon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Spondon, and we will reply with a fixed price.

- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.

- Keep a parking space free if you can
