How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lansdown
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive

- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lansdown. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lansdown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
