What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Skinningrove: your questions answered
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are there extra charges for Skinningrove?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, 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.
Landlord and trade work in Skinningrove
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When to call us in Skinningrove
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
