Coloured suite to white in Upton, Leicestershire
Our technicians come to Upton for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Upton without replacing anything
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Upton questions
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
