About our coloured bath resurfacing in Great Barton
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One price list for the entire UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- A fixed quote before you book
Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What we cannot 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire suite
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Great Barton
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Do you work in Great Barton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Great Barton and the rest of Suffolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Great Barton.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Great Barton?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
