Coloured bath resurfacing in Lower East Carleton, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Lower East Carleton

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

FAQs for Lower East Carleton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Lower East Carleton?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Lower East Carleton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lower East Carleton and the rest of Norfolk. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

What affects the price in Lower East Carleton

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
