Coloured bath resurfacing for St Mark’s homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in St Mark’s, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in St Mark’s

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for St Mark’s

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your GL51 postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace in St Mark’s?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
