How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Trimdon
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Trimdon questions
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair

What affects the price in Trimdon
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TS29 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
