Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Felixstowe Ferry

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Felixstowe Ferry

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Felixstowe Ferry

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Felixstowe Ferry, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace in Felixstowe Ferry?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Felixstowe Ferry questions

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
