Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Elmstead Market
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last

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

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
