Coloured bath resurfacing in Balne, done in place
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Balne. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Repairing versus replacing in Balne
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Balne
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you work in Balne?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Balne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Balne included. Travel is included in the price.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
