How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Waterside
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Common problems we fix in Waterside
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
Common questions in Waterside
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Waterside. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
