Coloured suite to white in East Kirkby, Lincolnshire
We travel to East Kirkby for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in East Kirkby
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in East Kirkby as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for East Kirkby. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repair or replace in East Kirkby?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Kirkby
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

East Kirkby questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
