Coloured bath resurfacing near Dengie

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Dengie

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Dengie

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

What about the toilet?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Dengie

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are

Read our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Dengie

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Dengie. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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