What affects the price in Hoby
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hoby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Hoby, done in place
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 whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

About Hoby
Hoby is about 5 miles north-east of Syston, in Leicestershire. Book a date that suits you, and we will give you an arrival time in advance, so you’re not left waiting in all day. Our technicians cover all 287 towns and villages across Leicestershire, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Hoby to Birmingham (42 miles away).
Here we cover the LE14 postcode area. Streets in the area include Main Street, Regent Road and Chapel Lane, all of which we cover. If you are just outside Hoby, we cover Brooksby (1 mile south), Ragdale (2 miles north), Thrussington (2 miles south-west), Rearsby (2 miles south-west) and Six Hills (3 miles north-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Loughborough (9 miles west), Wigston (12 miles south), Melton Mowbray (5 miles east), Coalville (15 miles west), Shepshed (12 miles west) and Syston (5 miles south-west).
Local landmarks in Hoby

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Hoby
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

The whole UK, including all of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hoby?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
