About our coloured bath resurfacing in Wixams
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Wixams
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
