How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hardgate
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Hardgate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
FAQs for Hardgate
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire suite
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
