Need coloured bath resurfacing in Lavenham?

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Coloured bath resurfacing in Lavenham without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Lavenham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

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

Lavenham: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you work in Lavenham?

We do. We send a technician to Lavenham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Lavenham

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lavenham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most customers in Lavenham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
