Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Rose Hill: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
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 photos.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
