What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What affects the price in Hook's Cross
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hook's Cross, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
