Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Lower Midway homes
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Midway and the surrounding area, normally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Midway
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Lower Midway
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lower Midway. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

Lower Midway: your questions answered
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Are there extra charges for Lower Midway?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Derbyshire.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Lower Midway. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
