Swanwick questions
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you work in Swanwick?
We do. We send a technician to Swanwick for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Swanwick is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Swanwick
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Swanwick
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Swanwick get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Swanwick
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Swanwick
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
