Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Burstall

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Burstall

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Burstall questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you accredited?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Burstall is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

When can you do it?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. 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
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite 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. We don’t add 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.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Burstall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

When to call us in Burstall

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Look out for these signs:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Burstall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
