Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Chedburgh

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits 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

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chedburgh

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

  • 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

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Chedburgh

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Chedburgh. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Chedburgh, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Chedburgh

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
