Coloured bath resurfacing in Balby without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

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 to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balby use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Balby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Balby get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Balby: your questions answered
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Balby?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Balby. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
