Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Lexden without replacing anything

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Lexden clients choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Work done at your home or business

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Lexden: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
