Coloured bath resurfacing for Hempnall homes

Hempnall: your questions answered

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hempnall

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hempnall and across Norfolk. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Hempnall

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hempnall use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Hempnall

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Same prices wherever you are
