Coloured bath resurfacing in Wheatley Lane without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Wheatley Lane
Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
