Questions from Daddry Shield
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Daddry Shield?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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)

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire suite
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
