About our coloured bath resurfacing in Barkby Thorpe
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Barkby Thorpe. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leicestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Questions from Barkby Thorpe
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Repair or replace in Barkby Thorpe?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One price list for the whole UK
- Generally one visit, start to finish
