Coloured bath resurfacing in Bunwell Hill, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Bunwell Hill questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Bunwell Hill

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you don’t 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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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.

What we work on

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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