Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Ermine homes

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Ermine. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Ermine, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
If you are in Ermine and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Ermine
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace in Ermine?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlord and trade work in Ermine
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
