Coloured bath resurfacing near Butley

Coloured bath resurfacing in Butley without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site

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

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Butley

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we are called out for in Butley

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.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

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

Butley questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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 areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Butley and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Butley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Butley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
