Coloured bath resurfacing in Podsmead, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Podsmead. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Podsmead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Honest limits
Before booking, 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Podsmead
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Podsmead?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Podsmead. Prices do not change with location.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Podsmead?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Podsmead from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
