Coloured bath resurfacing in Holywell, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

What else we do in Holywell
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

Holywell questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
