How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Trimley St Mary
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

FAQs for Trimley St Mary
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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