How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Small Heath. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Small Heath without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Small Heath and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Small Heath
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Repair or replace in Small Heath?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step

- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
