What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole suite
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Hurworth Place, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Hurworth Place
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Hurworth Place
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
