What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Old Bilton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Old Bilton without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Are you accredited?

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Old Bilton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Repair or replace in Old Bilton?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

More services for Old Bilton
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
