The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Martlesham Heath
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Martlesham Heath
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Martlesham Heath clients choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Common questions in Martlesham Heath
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work in Martlesham Heath?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Martlesham Heath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we are called out for in Martlesham Heath
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
