Coloured suite to white in Slapton, Northamptonshire
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Slapton, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Slapton without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Slapton
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Slapton?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you come to Slapton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Slapton and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What a repair 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
