How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Watlington
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Watlington
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What else we do in Watlington
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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 before you book.

Watlington: your questions answered
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Are there extra charges for Watlington?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
