About our coloured bath resurfacing in Bacton
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire suite
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins

Bacton: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover Bacton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bacton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bacton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Bacton
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 usually cheaper.
