Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Thorpe Cross homes
We travel to Thorpe Cross for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Coloured bath resurfacing in Thorpe Cross, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Thorpe Cross questions
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Thorpe Cross?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What else we do in Thorpe Cross
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means 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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
