Coloured bath resurfacing in The Green, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Rural addresses like The Green just need a little planning. Tell us about narrow lanes, long drives or parking, and we’ll do the rest.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
