Coloured suite to white in Charlestown, Derbyshire
Our technicians come to Charlestown for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Coloured bath resurfacing in Charlestown, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What affects the price in Charlestown
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Charlestown questions
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
