Repair or replace in Redhill?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one 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.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Redhill
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bournemouth. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on

- 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Redhill
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
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.
Do you come to Redhill?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Redhill. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble 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 damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Redhill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
