How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Veensgarth
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Veensgarth and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Veensgarth, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Veensgarth
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
