Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in St Mary's

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why St Mary's clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in St Mary's, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
