About our coloured bath resurfacing in Bures Green

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bures Green and across Essex. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

FAQs for Bures Green

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Are there extra charges for Bures Green?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What do you need from me?

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

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Bures Green?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

When to call us in Bures Green

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bures Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
