Coloured bath resurfacing in Well Head, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair
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)

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Well Head
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Well Head. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Well Head
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What else we do in Well Head
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
