Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Tideswell
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Tideswell and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Tideswell
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tideswell as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Tideswell
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Tideswell
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Landlord and trade work in Tideswell
For anyone letting property in or around Tideswell, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for Tideswell
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Do you work in Tideswell?

Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
