Coloured bath resurfacing in Hanmer, done in place
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Hanmer
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Hanmer questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Hanmer?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer
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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays

- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Hanmer. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hanmer
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 generally the cheaper route.
