When to call us in Northstowe
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom

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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CB24 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
Landlord and trade work in Northstowe
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Northstowe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
