- 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Coloured bath resurfacing in West Thirston without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t 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.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
