Coloured bath resurfacing in Orlingbury, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

FAQs for Orlingbury
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Orlingbury included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
