DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Horse Dale without replacing anything
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
