Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
