Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Blackness, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last

Blackness questions
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Dundee. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
