How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Trelights
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

FAQs for Trelights
Are there extra charges for Trelights?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
