Coloured bath resurfacing in Elkesley, done in place
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Elkesley
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are there extra charges for Elkesley?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Elkesley?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DN22 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Elkesley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
