Coloured bath resurfacing near Fairstead

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Fairstead

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Fairstead

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Common questions in Fairstead

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Fairstead?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
