About our coloured bath resurfacing in Alpington
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Alpington
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Alpington?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What areas do you cover?
All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 generally cheaper.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key 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 day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole suite
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in Alpington
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
