Northaw: your questions answered
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Northaw?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
