What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Freehold. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Freehold

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area

Landlords, agents and businesses in Freehold

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

FAQs for Freehold

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
