About our coloured bath resurfacing in Honicknowle
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Honicknowle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Honicknowle, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Honicknowle
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
