Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Elmers End

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you come to Elmers End?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Elmers End. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Elmers End?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Elmers End

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Elmers End. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Elmers End

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elmers End use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK

Common problems we fix in Elmers End

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.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • 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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
