Coloured suite to white in Manton, Rutland

- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Manton without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What else we do in Manton
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What affects the price in Manton
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Manton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)

Manton questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
