DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Batcombe and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Batcombe

  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Common questions in Batcombe

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Batcombe included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
