Coloured bath resurfacing in Sandridge, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Sandridge. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Advice
Questions from Sandridge
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you come to Sandridge?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Sandridge and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 normally the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandridge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
