How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tanlan
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, 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, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Tanlan. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole suite
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
