How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Arkendale. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Arkendale
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Arkendale and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Arkendale questions
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Arkendale included. Travel is included in the price.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the whole UK

When to call us in Arkendale
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
