Coloured bath resurfacing in Altarnun, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses can’t 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Altarnun
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Altarnun. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Altarnun
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
