Coloured bath resurfacing in Fryerning

What affects the price in Fryerning

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Fryerning

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fryerning as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key 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, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Fryerning: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you cover Fryerning?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Fryerning from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What about the toilet?

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

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

Everywhere in the UK, Fryerning included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
