Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Oakthorpe
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Oakthorpe
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why Oakthorpe customers choose us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One price list for the whole UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Oakthorpe: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Oakthorpe included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

What else we do in Oakthorpe
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DE12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
