Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Dorley's Corner
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dorley's Corner and across Suffolk. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
