How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in The Slack
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.

FAQs for The Slack
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you come to The Slack?
We do. Technicians travel to The Slack from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
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?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in The Slack?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for The Slack. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
