About our coloured bath resurfacing in Elsing

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common questions in Elsing

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Elsing. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Do you work in Elsing?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Elsing from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Repairing versus replacing in Elsing

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Elsing. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Landlord and trade work in Elsing

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What we’re called out for in Elsing

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Elsing

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
