Coloured bath resurfacing near Batchworth

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Colour mixed on the day to match

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Batchworth

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How to compare quotes

Batchworth: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Batchworth?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Batchworth is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Batchworth

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

For most jobs, photos 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Batchworth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
