About our coloured bath resurfacing in The Sands
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in The Sands
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in The Sands?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GU10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
