How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What else we do in Goodrington
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire suite
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Goodrington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
