Coloured bath resurfacing for Combs homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Combs, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Combs?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Combs. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Combs: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Combs and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Combs?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Combs. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Combs, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we cannot 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)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Combs

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Combs?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Combs clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
