Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in The Shoe

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 without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

About our coloured bath resurfacing in The Shoe

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in The Shoe

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Are there extra charges for The Shoe?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you come to The Shoe?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to The Shoe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in The Shoe

  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Shoe

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. 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, tidy-up included.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price
