How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hessett
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlord and trade work in Hessett
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Questions from Hessett
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you cover Hessett?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hessett and the rest of Suffolk. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What affects the price in Hessett
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Hessett. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Hessett and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. 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.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
