Questions from Sandon
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Sandon?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Sandon
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Advice
What affects the price in Sandon
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Sandon. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Sandon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

- Faded or patchy colour

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
