Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Elson
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Elson and across Hampshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Elson questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Elson?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Elson. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Elson.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it 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.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Elson. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Same prices wherever you are
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
