How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Street Gate
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Street Gate questions
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Street Gate?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
