About our coloured bath resurfacing in Sound
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Sound. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sound, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Sound
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sound. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your photos

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sound
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Questions from Sound
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are there extra charges for Sound?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
