Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re 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, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Mears Ashby and across Northamptonshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Mears Ashby get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When to call us in Mears Ashby
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

Questions from Mears Ashby
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mears Ashby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
