Coloured bath resurfacing in Heights without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Heights. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Heights
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heights as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Questions from Heights
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Heights?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
