DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price

Advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
