Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hardwick
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Hardwick questions
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.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you cover Hardwick?
We do. We send a technician to Hardwick for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Hardwick

Landlord and trade work in Hardwick
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Hardwick. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hardwick. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hardwick, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What your quote should include

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
