- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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 price, not a guess.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Ashbocking
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace in Ashbocking?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, 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.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ashbocking?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
