How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Crownthorpe
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. 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.

What else we do in Crownthorpe
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Crownthorpe. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Crownthorpe
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Landlord and trade work in Crownthorpe
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Questions from Crownthorpe
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you come to Crownthorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Crownthorpe and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
