Coloured bath resurfacing for South Burlingham homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in South Burlingham

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Questions from South Burlingham

Will you leave a mess?

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

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Burlingham

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in South Burlingham

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  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. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
