How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Mapperley
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
We guarantee the work for a year. 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.

FAQs for Mapperley
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Mapperley
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
