Coloured bath resurfacing for East Mersea homes

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in East Mersea

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Coloured bath resurfacing in East Mersea without replacing anything

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

East Mersea questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work in East Mersea?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to East Mersea for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Landlord and trade work in East Mersea

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

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

What affects the price in East Mersea

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for East Mersea. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in East Mersea get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the entire UK

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 before you book.
