Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hele
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

If you manage property in Hele, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
