DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Woodthorpe without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Woodthorpe: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Woodthorpe included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you come to Woodthorpe?
We do. We send a technician to Woodthorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Are there extra charges for Woodthorpe?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Woodthorpe get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
