Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Towngate
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Towngate?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

- What preparation is included

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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Towngate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Towngate
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Towngate as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
