Coloured bath resurfacing in Pear Tree without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Pear Tree
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derby and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
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 with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
