When to call us in Wilstead
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Wilstead
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wilstead. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Wilstead, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilstead use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common questions in Wilstead
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Wilstead included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
