Coloured bath resurfacing near Bowers Gifford

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bowers Gifford

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Bowers Gifford questions

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Essex.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Bowers Gifford

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

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bowers Gifford

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
