About our coloured bath resurfacing in St Albans
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St Albans as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

FAQs for St Albans
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
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.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including St Albans and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Do you cover St Albans?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to St Albans from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

It helps to know what we cannot do:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Albans
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
