Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Babbington homes
Coloured bath resurfacing across Babbington and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Babbington
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Babbington and across Nottinghamshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Babbington: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Babbington?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
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.

- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit

What a repair can’t fix

- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Surfaces we repair

- Whole bathroom suites
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
