Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Upper Easton
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Upper Easton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair isn’t 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Easton
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
