Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Ayot St Lawrence
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Ayot St Lawrence and the surrounding area, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Ayot St Lawrence, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ayot St Lawrence and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Ayot St Lawrence
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
