- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ugley
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
