DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Hilcote without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Hilcote
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 before you book.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Hilcote: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Hilcote?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hilcote. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
