Coloured suite to white in Kelmarsh, Northamptonshire
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Kelmarsh and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Kelmarsh
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kelmarsh use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace in Kelmarsh?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
