Coloured bath resurfacing in Trolver Croft, done in place

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TR3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Trolver Croft questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you come to Trolver Croft?
We do. We send a technician to Trolver Croft for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites

- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.

How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
