About our coloured bath resurfacing in Derry Downs
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Derry Downs
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Repairing versus replacing in Derry Downs
Replacing a coloured suite means 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. 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 will get a fixed figure.

What else we do in Derry Downs
Derry Downs: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
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?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What affects the price in Derry Downs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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 will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
