How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Deadman's Cross, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Deadman's Cross
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
