What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Questions from Wherstead
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our prices page and bath cost comparison.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
