How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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 quote without visiting.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Wirksworth
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wirksworth as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Wirksworth
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Wirksworth
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
