How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Wellow
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price

When a repair is not the answer
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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole suite
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Wellow questions
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are there extra charges for Wellow?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Common problems we fix in Wellow
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What preparation is included
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What else we do in Wellow
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Isle of Wight and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
