How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Little Thurlow
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Little Thurlow
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Repairing versus replacing in Little Thurlow
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
