Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Swynnerton
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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.

What happens on the day
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.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

What we are called out for in Swynnerton
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repairing versus replacing in Swynnerton
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Swynnerton: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Landlord and trade work in Swynnerton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
