Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in St Helen Auckland
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in St Helen Auckland
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
