What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Fairy Cross get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Fairy Cross

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Fairy Cross

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Fairy Cross: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fairy Cross

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

We price from pictures 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 you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
