When to call us in Falkenham

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Choosing a repair company

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Falkenham

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Falkenham.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Falkenham and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

How it works

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, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
