What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Cold Ashby. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. 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 happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Cold Ashby

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
