Repairing versus replacing in Braintree

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Braintree. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Braintree
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.
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. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
FAQs for Braintree
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Braintree?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Braintree?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Braintree from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, 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 how to look after it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Braintree
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Customers generally contact us about:
- 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 does not match a new bathroom

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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.
Materials we repair

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
