Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Throcking
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
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.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Throcking customers choose us
- Colour-matched on site
- No extra charge for your area
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What we are called out for in Throcking
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Faded or patchy colour
- 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
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Throcking. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Throcking
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Throcking
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Throcking.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
