Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Long Whatton
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Long Whatton
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Long Whatton. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Long Whatton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
