What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Oulton

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Oulton

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Oulton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
