Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Rockingham
Our repair technicians come to Rockingham for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Rockingham
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rockingham
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Rockingham and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When to call us in Rockingham
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Look out for these signs:
- 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
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Questions from Rockingham
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Rockingham and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
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.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rockingham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
