How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Great Bircham
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. 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.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Great Bircham: your questions answered
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Great Bircham included. Travel is included in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What affects the price in Great Bircham
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Great Bircham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PE31 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
