Coloured bath resurfacing in Chelsworth, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

What we’re called out for in Chelsworth

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

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

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Chelsworth

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Chelsworth and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Chelsworth questions

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What do you need from me?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chelsworth use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
