Coloured bath resurfacing in Talkin without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Talkin?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Talkin. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Talkin, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Questions from Talkin
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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 booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Landlord and trade work in Talkin
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace in Talkin?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A fixed quote before you book
- Everything repaired in place
- One visit for most repairs
