Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Kidmore End
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Kidmore End questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add 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 pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RG4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
