About our coloured bath resurfacing in Little Eaton
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What affects the price in Little Eaton
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DE21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What else we do in Little Eaton
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derby and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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 next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Little Eaton: your questions answered
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover Little Eaton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Little Eaton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
