DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Scrabster, 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. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Scrabster. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your KW14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
