Coloured bath resurfacing in Kirby Cane

Coloured bath resurfacing in Kirby Cane without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kirby Cane and across Suffolk. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Kirby Cane

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A suite that does not 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

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kirby Cane. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Kirby Cane get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Kirby Cane questions

Do you come to Kirby Cane?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Kirby Cane. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Are there extra charges for Kirby Cane?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Kirby Cane?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Kirby Cane is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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.
