Coloured bath resurfacing in Cutlers Green

Coloured bath resurfacing in Cutlers Green without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

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. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Cutlers Green

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

When we would advise against a repair

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 will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Cutlers Green

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Cutlers Green

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

FAQs for Cutlers Green

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What areas do you cover?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
