Coloured Bath Resurfacing for St John's Chapel homes

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in St John's Chapel
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in St John's Chapel
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St John's Chapel as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
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.
Common problems we fix in St John's Chapel
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Look out for these signs:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in St John's Chapel
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

Common questions in St John's Chapel
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
