Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in East Horndon

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Horndon

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

If you manage property in East Horndon, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site

Common problems we fix in East Horndon

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t 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 before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in East Horndon and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

FAQs for East Horndon

Are there extra charges for East Horndon?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, East Horndon included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
