Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Bowthorpe
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: 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 quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Customers normally contact us about:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Questions from Bowthorpe
What areas do you cover?
All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
