Coloured bath resurfacing in Leicester, done in place
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Leicester
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Leicester
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leicester as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Leicester
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Leicester
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Leicester and the rest of Leicester. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
When to call us in Leicester
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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
