Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Mabe Burnthouse. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
