Book coloured bath resurfacing in Clatterford End

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Clatterford End without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Clatterford End and across Essex. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Clatterford End

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Clatterford End

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in Clatterford End get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix

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)

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Clatterford End?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Clatterford End?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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