Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in St Lawrence
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in St Lawrence
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A fixed quote before booking
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Nothing taken out or refitted

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Questions from St Lawrence
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Isle of Wight, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you work in St Lawrence?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to St Lawrence from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for St Lawrence?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Lawrence
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
We will not take on work 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in St Lawrence, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
