Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Benacre

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Benacre without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Benacre?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Benacre

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What a repair cannot fix

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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Benacre as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
