About our coloured bath resurfacing in Lower Falkenham

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Falkenham

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

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

10 questions to ask before booking

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Lower Falkenham. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Falkenham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Lower Falkenham questions

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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