Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Forncett End

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Forncett End

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Forncett End?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your NR16 postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby 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.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

What your quote should include

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
