Coloured bath resurfacing in Upper Race, done in place
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Upper Race: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Upper Race?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Upper Race from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Upper Race
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Upper Race, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Upper Race?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to look after the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
