Can I fix it myself?
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 pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hatfield
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Hatfield
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Hatfield. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hatfield, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Hatfield: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
