How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Norden
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Norden and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Norden: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Norden?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Norden. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OL11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
