Coloured bath resurfacing in Ickworth, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Ickworth

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Ickworth: your questions answered

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ickworth

If you manage property in Ickworth, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Ickworth?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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