Coloured suite to white in Copley, County Durham
Coloured bath resurfacing across Copley and nearby, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Copley, 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. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Copley. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Copley
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Copley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour-matched on site

- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.

- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Advice
Questions from Copley
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work in Copley?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Copley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
