What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Herne

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 frequently lifts.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Herne as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Herne: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover Herne?

We do. Technicians travel to Herne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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.

What we work on

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
