About our coloured bath resurfacing in Wickham Street

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Wickham Street

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What about the toilet?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Wickham Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Wickham Street. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Wickham Street

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
