Coloured bath resurfacing in Swaffham Bulbeck without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Swaffham Bulbeck

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Swaffham Bulbeck get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Swaffham Bulbeck?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Swaffham Bulbeck. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Swaffham Bulbeck

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

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

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

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Swaffham Bulbeck

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured basins

Landlord and trade work in Swaffham Bulbeck

Letting agents often send us pictures 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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

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

Common questions in Swaffham Bulbeck

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Swaffham Bulbeck?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CB25 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What do you need from me?

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

When can you do it?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
