Coloured bath resurfacing in Thurvaston, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done 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.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Thurvaston
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Thurvaston: your questions answered
Do you come to Thurvaston?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Thurvaston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we’re called out for in Thurvaston
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Look out for any of the following:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
