Coloured bath resurfacing in Burgham, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Burgham

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are there extra charges for Burgham?

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

Is it messy?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Do you work in Burgham?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Burgham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What affects the price in Burgham

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Burgham, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Burgham?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

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.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
