Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Great Blakenham
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Great Blakenham and the surrounding area, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Great Blakenham
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Great Blakenham
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you work in Great Blakenham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Great Blakenham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Blakenham
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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 we’re called out for in Great Blakenham
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Great Blakenham. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Repairing versus replacing in Great Blakenham
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why Great Blakenham customers choose us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
