About our coloured bath resurfacing in Great Cornard

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common questions in Great Cornard

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When to call us in Great Cornard

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Look out for these signs:

  • 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 happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Great Cornard

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Cornard

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Great Cornard, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
