- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What affects the price in Hornestreet
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hornestreet
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Hornestreet: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO4 postcode.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we are called out for in Hornestreet
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
