How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lydeard St Lawrence
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
FAQs for Lydeard St Lawrence
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Lydeard St Lawrence?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TA4 postcode.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Lydeard St Lawrence included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do the toilet too?

Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Lydeard St Lawrence, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
