Coloured bath resurfacing in Tong without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repair or replace in Tong?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add 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.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Tong, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take 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.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
You don’t 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.
