Repairing versus replacing in Somerleyton

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Coloured bath resurfacing in Somerleyton, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Somerleyton and across Suffolk. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

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

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Somerleyton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Somerleyton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Somerleyton questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Somerleyton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Somerleyton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Somerleyton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
