Coloured bath resurfacing near Essington

Coloured bath resurfacing in Essington, done in place

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Essington

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Essington

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in Essington

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Essington?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Essington

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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Essington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it
