What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair typically 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
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. 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.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Highgate
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Highgate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We leave the room as we found it
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

FAQs for Highgate
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
