Arkesden questions
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Arkesden without replacing anything
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Arkesden. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Arkesden
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Arkesden. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
