Coloured bath resurfacing in Swaffham without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

FAQs for Swaffham
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What affects the price in Swaffham
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Swaffham, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
