What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. 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.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Whitfield

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Whitfield

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business

Questions from Whitfield

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover Whitfield?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Whitfield for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Whitfield?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
