Coloured bath resurfacing in Great Stainton without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually 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 basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TS21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Great Stainton
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
Repair or replace in Great Stainton?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
