Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Same prices wherever you are
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Common Side, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Common Side
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common Side: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Common Side included. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Common Side.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
