How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hummersknott
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Hummersknott clients choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 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.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
