What affects the price in Smithfield
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Smithfield get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Smithfield
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Smithfield and across Cumbria. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Smithfield
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Smithfield?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
