A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.

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

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Garvestone

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Garvestone get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

When to call us in Garvestone

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Repair or replace in Garvestone?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Garvestone clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
