Coloured suite to white in Shimpling, Suffolk
Coloured bath resurfacing across Shimpling and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Shimpling without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Shimpling
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
