Coloured suite to white in Longthorpe, Peterborough
Coloured bath resurfacing across Longthorpe and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Coloured bath resurfacing in Longthorpe, 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. We work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can

Longthorpe questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Longthorpe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Longthorpe. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Longthorpe?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PE3 postcode.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the entire UK

What a repair cannot fix

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
