Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Broxbourne

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

What affects the price in Broxbourne

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Questions from Broxbourne

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

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.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
