Coloured bath resurfacing in Frinton-on-Sea

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Frinton-on-Sea

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Frinton-on-Sea and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Frinton-on-Sea

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Frinton-on-Sea

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

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Frinton-on-Sea. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
