What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures 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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Dufton
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
