Coloured bath resurfacing in Kelsale, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
FAQs for Kelsale
What areas do you cover?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Kelsale?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What else we do in Kelsale
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
What you get with us

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Kelsale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Kelsale. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire suite
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
