About our coloured bath resurfacing in Stead
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common questions in Stead
Are there extra charges for Stead?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
