About our coloured bath resurfacing in Benhall Street

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Benhall Street as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Benhall Street?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it

FAQs for Benhall Street

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you work in Benhall Street?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Benhall Street and the rest of Suffolk. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What affects the price in Benhall Street

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Benhall Street

If you manage property in Benhall Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  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, usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your IP17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
