Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Whiteley Bank
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Whiteley Bank: your questions answered
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Whiteley Bank.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Isle of Wight, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.

- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Whiteley Bank
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A fixed quote before you book
