Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Thorpe Green
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Our repair 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.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Thorpe Green
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
