Coloured suite to white in Gunthorpe, Nottinghamshire
Our repair technicians come to Gunthorpe for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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.

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

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Gunthorpe. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, 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.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
