Coloured bath resurfacing in Codicote Bottom, done in place
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Codicote Bottom. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Codicote Bottom: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Codicote Bottom?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SG4 postcode.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
