Coloured bath resurfacing near Ubbeston

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ubbeston

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Ubbeston questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you come to Ubbeston?

We do. We send a technician to Ubbeston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When we would advise against a repair

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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Ubbeston

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP19 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we’re called out for in Ubbeston

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit
