Coloured bath resurfacing in Horney Common, done in place
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What else we do in Horney Common
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horney Common use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Horney Common. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size

- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
