Coloured bath resurfacing in Oaks in Charnwood, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
Somewhere as small as Oaks in Charnwood, you’ll find cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Coloured bath resurfacing in place avoids all of that.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Oaks in Charnwood and across Leicestershire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Oaks in Charnwood
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- 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
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Church of St James the Greater, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

Oaks in Charnwood: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing old coloured suites in a period home in Oaks in Charnwood?
Generally: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. We’ll give you an honest view from photos.
Will you travel to Oaks in Charnwood?
We do: Oaks in Charnwood is covered like any town. Tell us if access is tricky.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Landlord and trade work in Oaks in Charnwood
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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 will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Oaks in Charnwood?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Replacement in Oaks in Charnwood means trades, travel and waste removal, while coloured bath resurfacing is one trip.
Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour-matched on site
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
