How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Coloured bath resurfacing in Leiston, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Leiston

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Leiston

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Leiston?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Leiston included. Travel is included in the price.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Leiston

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
