What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Monewden, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Monewden: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

We cover the whole UK, including Monewden and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Monewden?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Monewden

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why Monewden customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything

What we’re called out for in Monewden

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Monewden. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
