Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Storrs
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Storrs use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Storrs
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Storrs. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Storrs. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Storrs get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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 normally the cheaper route.

Questions from Storrs
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are there extra charges for Storrs?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are 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’ll give you a straight answer.
