What affects the price in Elston
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Elston, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Elston and across Nottinghamshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Elston: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Elston?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NG23 postcode.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
