How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Trowell
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Trowell and across Nottinghamshire. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trowell as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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)

Questions from Trowell
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you cover Trowell?
We do. We send a technician to Trowell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Trowell is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Trowell?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we are called out for in Trowell
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

How the visit works
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 one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- 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, normally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
