Coloured bath resurfacing for Thetford homes

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Thetford

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Thetford

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Thetford

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get 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.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you work in Thetford?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thetford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

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

What affects the price in Thetford

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
