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 will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Colchester Green. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Colchester Green and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Colchester Green

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Colchester Green?
