How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Tunstall
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)

Landlord and trade work in Tunstall
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Tunstall: your questions answered
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover the whole of Stoke-on-Trent?
We cover the entire UK, including Tunstall and the rest of Stoke-on-Trent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ST6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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, typically ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
