Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Easthorpe homes
Our repair technicians come to Easthorpe for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, 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.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Easthorpe
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Common questions in Easthorpe
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
