How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Wharton
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
FAQs for Wharton
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
