Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in The Pry
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in The Pry and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Swindon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Questions from The Pry
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Swindon.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you cover The Pry?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to The Pry. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
