Repairing versus replacing in Orton
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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 you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Coloured bath resurfacing in Orton, done in place
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Orton. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Orton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Orton

What we’re called out for in Orton
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
