Coloured suite to white in Thorpe Thewles, County Durham
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Thorpe Thewles and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Thorpe Thewles without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Thorpe Thewles, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When to call us in Thorpe Thewles
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
Questions from Thorpe Thewles
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Thorpe Thewles?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TS21 postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
