Coloured bath resurfacing in Basildon without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.
Basildon questions
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
We cover the entire UK, including Basildon and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
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.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Basildon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Basildon
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
