What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Whitehouse
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key 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, normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Whitehouse
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
