Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Eliburn: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Eliburn
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
