What we cannot put right

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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Rushmere St Andrew

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

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.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.

  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. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

Rushmere St Andrew: your questions answered

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Rushmere St Andrew?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Suffolk.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Landlord and trade work in Rushmere St Andrew

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
