Coloured bath resurfacing in Upper Loads, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upper Loads. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Common questions in Upper Loads
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Upper Loads
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
