- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Whitstone, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. 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.

What affects the price in Whitstone
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Whitstone
Repairing versus replacing in Whitstone
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Landlord and trade work in Whitstone
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Whitstone, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Whitstone
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Common reasons people in Whitstone contact us are:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Whitstone questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
