Coloured suite to white in Racecourse, Suffolk
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white in Racecourse, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Racecourse
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Racecourse?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- A fixed quote before booking
- One visit for most repairs
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Questions from Racecourse
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Racecourse?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. 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.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
