Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Elvaston
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
When to call us in Elvaston
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- 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
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Elvaston: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Elvaston and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What affects the price in Elvaston
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Elvaston. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
