Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Hobbs Cross
Our repair technicians come to Hobbs Cross for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
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. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Everything repaired in place
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hobbs Cross
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Hobbs Cross and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Hobbs Cross questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Hobbs Cross
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hobbs Cross. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
