How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Itchen
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Itchen
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Itchen. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you do not 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 you will get a fixed figure back.
FAQs for Itchen
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Itchen?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SO19 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you cover the entire of Southampton?
All of Southampton, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace in Itchen?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
