Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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)

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Royston
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you work in Royston?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Royston. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
