What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sockbridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire suite
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sockbridge, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Sockbridge, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Sockbridge?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Sockbridge
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Sockbridge
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover Sockbridge?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Sockbridge. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
