About our coloured bath resurfacing in Horsford
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
Horsford: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you work in Horsford?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Horsford and the rest of Norfolk. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Horsford
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horsford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in Horsford
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
