How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Barkby without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
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.

What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Barkby
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Leicestershire.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
