How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Ashbrittle. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ashbrittle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Ashbrittle: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work in Ashbrittle?

We do. We send a technician to Ashbrittle for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

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 usually the cheaper route.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 before booking.
