Coloured bath resurfacing in Langley Park without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire suite
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Langley Park: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Langley Park.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Langley Park. Prices don’t change with location.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
