Coloured bath resurfacing near Bengeo

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Bengeo

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

In a place the size of Bengeo, we’re usually working in a family home or a bungalow. One visit is normally enough, with the bath back in use soon after.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Bengeo

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.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

If you let a flat or house near Hertford East station (in Bengeo itself), we repair coloured suites between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bengeo use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Bengeo, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Around Bengeo, arranging several trades for a replacement can take a while. A repair is one visit from us.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different 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.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured. In a smaller place like Bengeo, parking is rarely a problem. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price
