- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Dishforth questions
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
