Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Thorpe Market
We travel to Thorpe Market for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Thorpe Market
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Thorpe Market?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thorpe Market. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
