Coloured bath resurfacing in St Paul's, done in place
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Every job is backed for twelve months in St Paul's and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Repair or replace in St Paul's?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350.
