About our coloured bath resurfacing in Bobbingworth

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour 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, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common questions in Bobbingworth

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Bobbingworth?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CM5 postcode.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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 usually the cheaper route.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bobbingworth. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
