Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Bramingham

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Bramingham

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

FAQs for Bramingham

What about the toilet?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

How to compare quotes

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repair or replace in Bramingham?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. 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 us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Bramingham

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
