Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Somercotes
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Somercotes questions
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
When to call us in Somercotes
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Somercotes
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Somercotes. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Somercotes as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
