About our coloured bath resurfacing in Tripwell
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Tripwell
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tripwell.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Tripwell?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ZE2 postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What a repair can’t 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Tripwell
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tripwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in Tripwell
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
