Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Barton Mills

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Barton Mills

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites

Coloured bath resurfacing in Barton Mills without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Barton Mills questions

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Barton Mills?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP28 postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Repairing versus replacing in Barton Mills

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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 quote without visiting.
