About our coloured bath resurfacing in Gretton
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gretton as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

- How many areas need work
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs

Questions from Gretton
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Gretton?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Gretton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Gretton
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
