What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire suite
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Dacre
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
FAQs for Dacre
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What about the toilet?

Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Landlord and trade work in Dacre

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairing versus replacing in Dacre
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
