How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Layerthorpe
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Layerthorpe. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Layerthorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
FAQs for Layerthorpe
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover Layerthorpe?
We do. Technicians travel to Layerthorpe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
