The process

- 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 day after.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we are called out for in Orford
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Look out for any of the following:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Orford
- Whole bathroom suites

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Orford
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
