Coloured bath resurfacing in Swineshead, done in place
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Swineshead 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.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Swineshead, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. 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 before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Swineshead
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swineshead use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
