Coloured bath resurfacing in Frettenham

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Frettenham

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Frettenham

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

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 do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Norfolk.

How soon can you come?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What areas do you cover?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What we are called out for in Frettenham

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Frettenham

For anyone letting property in or around Frettenham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Frettenham?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

What affects the price in Frettenham

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Frettenham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
