About our coloured bath resurfacing in Throston
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Throston
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

When to call us in Throston
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Common questions in Throston
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Throston?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
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 we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour-matched on site
