How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common questions in Well
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Do you work in Well?
We do. Technicians travel to Well from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Well as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace in Well?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
