Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to St Nicholas. The price comes down to:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in St Nicholas, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Coloured bath resurfacing in St Nicholas without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in St Nicholas?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

St Nicholas: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SG1 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in St Nicholas?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to St Nicholas. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
