Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure

Coloured bath resurfacing in Cutthorpe, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Cutthorpe: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you cover Cutthorpe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cutthorpe and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What we can’t put right

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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Cutthorpe

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your S42 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Cutthorpe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
