Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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.
Why Longtown clients choose us

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Longtown, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Longtown questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
