Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Fotherby, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Fotherby?
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:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the price in Fotherby
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Fotherby. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
