Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Springfield
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
