Coloured bath resurfacing in Hockley, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hockley and across Birmingham. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Hockley
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Hockley, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A fixed quote before you book
