Repairing versus replacing in New Mills
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Common questions in New Mills
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you come to New Mills?
We do. We send a technician to New Mills for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
