Coloured bath resurfacing for Corton homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Corton 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. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Corton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Corton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we’re called out for in Corton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Corton

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Corton. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Corton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Corton: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

Everywhere in the UK, Corton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do the toilet too?

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

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price
