Questions from Stobswell
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Stobswell?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Stobswell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Stobswell?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Stobswell without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Stobswell
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stobswell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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 you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before booking
- Rooms protected and left tidy
See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Stobswell
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
