  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

How to compare quotes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Boyton Cross, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Boyton Cross

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Boyton Cross: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

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

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Are there extra charges for Boyton Cross?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Boyton Cross?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CM1 postcode.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Boyton Cross, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

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.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
