How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hart Common
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hart Common. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
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. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repairing versus replacing in Hart Common

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Hart Common
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?

Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
