Coloured bath resurfacing in South Pickenham, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can typically put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in South Pickenham

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?

The whole UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do I have to be there?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in South Pickenham

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in South Pickenham?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Pickenham

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
