Coloured suite to white in Wilby, Suffolk
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Wilby and the surrounding area, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
Coloured bath resurfacing in Wilby, done in place
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When a repair is not the answer
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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Common questions in Wilby
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wilby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common problems we fix in Wilby
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
