About our coloured bath resurfacing in Herne Common
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Herne Common. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One price list for the whole UK
Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Herne Common, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes 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.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
You do not 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’ll reply with a fixed price.
