Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole suite
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Colwick without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Colwick and across Nottinghamshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Colwick
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Colwick: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
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 redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you come to Colwick?
We do. Technicians travel to Colwick from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
