Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Skelsmergh homes
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Skelsmergh and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Skelsmergh
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Skelsmergh, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
FAQs for Skelsmergh
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour-matched on site

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Skelsmergh. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
