DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Welwyn Garden City, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole suite
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Welwyn Garden City
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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
