Coloured bath resurfacing in Summit without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Summit, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price

Summit: your questions answered
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 picture of the entire item with your OL2 postcode.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour-matched on site
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Summit as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
