About our coloured bath resurfacing in South Scousburgh
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
