Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Bradfield St Clare

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Bradfield St Clare

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.

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.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Bradfield St Clare

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

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.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Repairing versus replacing in Bradfield St Clare

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.
