About our coloured bath resurfacing in Thorpe Larches
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Thorpe Larches
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Thorpe Larches
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Thorpe Larches?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thorpe Larches. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
