Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
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 will reply with a fixed quote.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Robin Hood's Bay, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 will give you a straight answer.
