Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Whittington
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Whittington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Whittington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What affects the price in Whittington
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Whittington. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire suite
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Whittington

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SY11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
