Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Honing

Coloured bath resurfacing in Honing, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

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

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Honing, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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

Common questions in Honing

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 I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you come to Honing?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Honing from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Honing. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise 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.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Honing get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Honing

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
