When to call us in Poringland

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.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Poringland

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Poringland

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Poringland and the rest of Norfolk. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you charge for travel?

What affects the price in Poringland

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Poringland and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
