DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
When to call us in Glemsford
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Glemsford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
