Coloured bath resurfacing near Rushbrooke

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Rushbrooke

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, 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.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Rushbrooke

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • 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 does not match a new bathroom

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish
  • How the colour is matched

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rushbrooke

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rushbrooke, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
