Coloured Bath Resurfacing for West Mains homes
Our technicians come to West Mains for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in West Mains
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Get a quote
