- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, 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.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire suite
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Bimbister
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Bimbister
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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 following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Close by, we cover Harray (1 mile north), Grimeston (1 mile south-west), Russland (2 miles north-west), Hourston (2 miles north-west) and Wasbister (3 miles west).

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Bimbister: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Bimbister?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you cover Bimbister?
We do. We send a technician to Bimbister for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Bimbister included. Travel is included in the price.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
