DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Whinney Hill
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.

- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
