About our coloured bath resurfacing in High Throston
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including High Throston. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in High Throston
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
