Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Codnor
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Codnor and across Derbyshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Codnor questions
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Codnor?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Codnor. Prices don’t change with location.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Other services in Codnor
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
