Coloured suite to white in Willisham Tye, Suffolk
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white at your home in Willisham Tye, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Willisham Tye, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Willisham Tye and across Suffolk. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When to call us in Willisham Tye
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
