Coloured bath resurfacing in Fothergill, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t 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 photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Landlord and trade work in Fothergill
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Fothergill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Common questions in Fothergill
Do you come to Fothergill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Fothergill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Fothergill. Prices do not change with location.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
