How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Altofts
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Altofts. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Altofts, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Altofts
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work in Altofts?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Altofts from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Altofts use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Same prices wherever you are
