How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Thorpe Acre
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Thorpe Acre: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Thorpe Acre?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you work in Thorpe Acre?
We do. We send a technician to Thorpe Acre for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Common problems we fix in Thorpe Acre
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
What affects the price in Thorpe Acre
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Thorpe Acre. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?
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.
