The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Baltasound questions
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Baltasound included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire suite

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
