About our coloured bath resurfacing in Metcombe
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 selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Metcombe. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Metcombe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

FAQs for Metcombe
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Metcombe?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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.
