Coloured bath resurfacing for West Suffolk homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Coloured bath resurfacing in West Suffolk without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

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’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

West Suffolk questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are there extra charges for West Suffolk?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What affects the price in West Suffolk

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
