Coloured bath resurfacing in Hopgrove without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Hopgrove get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry

Hopgrove questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you cover Hopgrove?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hopgrove from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
