Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Slaley
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We do not add 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.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Slaley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Slaley
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Slaley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for Slaley
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Do you come to Slaley?
We do. We send a technician to Slaley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Slaley?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
