About our coloured bath resurfacing in Tunstead
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tunstead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Tunstead, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Tunstead: your questions answered
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do you cover Tunstead?
We do. Technicians travel to Tunstead from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
