Coloured bath resurfacing in Hopton on Sea, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hopton on Sea use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Hopton on Sea

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hopton on Sea. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR31 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Our hiring checklist

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Questions from Hopton on Sea

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR31 postcode.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
