Coloured bath resurfacing in Whitchurch without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Whitchurch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
