Coloured bath resurfacing in Doddinghurst, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

Can I fix it myself?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Doddinghurst. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CM15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Doddinghurst

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What areas do you cover?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

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 a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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 the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
