Coloured suite to white in Bacton, Norfolk
Coloured bath resurfacing for Bacton, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Bacton, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bacton as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Bacton
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
The price 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 pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

FAQs for Bacton
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Bacton?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
