Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Orby

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Orby
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Orby: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Orby?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Orby. Prices do not change with location.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
