What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material

When to call us in Nettlestead
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Nettlestead
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Nettlestead?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Nettlestead
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nettlestead as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
