Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When to call us in Hawstead Green
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What affects the price in Hawstead Green
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Hawstead Green
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Hawstead Green included. Travel is included in the price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hawstead Green
