Coloured bath resurfacing in Westgate without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Westgate as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Westgate
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Westgate?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- No need to remove anything
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Westgate. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Westgate, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
