Coloured bath resurfacing in Butcher's Common without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can normally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Butcher's Common questions
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Butcher's Common included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Butcher's Common, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Butcher's Common
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Butcher's Common use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Butcher's Common
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What affects the price in Butcher's Common
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Butcher's Common
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
