Coloured suite to white in Slipton, Northamptonshire
Coloured bath resurfacing in and around Slipton: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Slipton
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Slipton and across Northamptonshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Slipton
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

Landlords, agents and businesses in Slipton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Slipton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Questions from Slipton
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
