Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Martlesham

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself 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.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Martlesham

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to 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.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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’s 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Martlesham

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start 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.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Common questions in Martlesham

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What affects the price in Martlesham

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Martlesham

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Honest limits

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Martlesham
