About our coloured bath resurfacing in Unthank
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Unthank as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Unthank
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. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Unthank. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Unthank. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
Questions from Unthank
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Unthank.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
