Coloured bath resurfacing for Herringfleet homes

Common problems we fix in Herringfleet

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

Customers usually contact us about:

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Herringfleet as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Herringfleet: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you cover Herringfleet?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Herringfleet. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Herringfleet. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
