What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Occold. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job without visiting.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Occold
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Occold?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Landlord and trade work in Occold
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
