How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ixworth
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ixworth
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair isn’t the answer

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Ixworth
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Ixworth. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, 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.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ixworth, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job.
