About our coloured bath resurfacing in Mattersey
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Mattersey: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Nottinghamshire.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Mattersey is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?

What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
