How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Wilkieston
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilkieston
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilkieston as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Wilkieston
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare 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, usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
