DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Smith's Green without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Smith's Green get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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)

What information do you need?

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
