Coloured bath resurfacing in Stapleton without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Stapleton: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Stapleton?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DL2 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- 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.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Stapleton. What changes the price is:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Advice
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Stapleton?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
