Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shellow Bowells. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace in Shellow Bowells?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Shellow Bowells
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CM5 postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
