Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Doe Lea
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Doe Lea questions
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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.

Getting a price from pictures

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Doe Lea
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
