Coloured bath resurfacing in Ellington Thorpe without replacing anything
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ellington Thorpe?
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.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Ellington Thorpe. The price depends on:

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole suite
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What else we do in Ellington Thorpe
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
