Need coloured bath resurfacing in Upper Shuckburgh?

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Upper Shuckburgh

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Shuckburgh use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NN11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Upper Shuckburgh

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
