Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
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.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Yarbridge
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Yarbridge
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Common problems we fix in Yarbridge
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Look out for these signs:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
Landlords, agents and businesses in Yarbridge
For anyone letting property in or around Yarbridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Yarbridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Yarbridge, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
