Repair or replace in Snape Watering?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Snape Watering
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
