What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Gourock, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Gourock, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key 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, generally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PA19 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Gourock

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Gourock

Gourock: your questions answered

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.

Do you work in Gourock?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gourock for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Are there extra charges for Gourock?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
