Coloured bath resurfacing in St John's

About our coloured bath resurfacing in St John's

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in St John's and across Surrey. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

FAQs for St John's

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Are there extra charges for St John's?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you cover St John's?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to St John's and the rest of Surrey. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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 affects the price in St John's

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to St John's. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for St John's. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in St John's

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why St John's clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
