Coloured bath resurfacing in Tarbert without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Tarbert and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tarbert as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour

- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- 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 next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access

FAQs for Tarbert
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Tarbert included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HS3 postcode.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
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 typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
