Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Ingworth
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Ingworth: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover Ingworth?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ingworth and the rest of Norfolk. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
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.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ingworth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Ingworth
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
