Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Wentbridge homes
Coloured bath resurfacing in and around Wentbridge: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Coloured bath resurfacing in Wentbridge, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Wentbridge get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wentbridge use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Wentbridge?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Look out for any of the following:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.

Questions from Wentbridge
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Wentbridge?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wentbridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
