How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare 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 next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Gaston Green

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Gaston Green and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Gaston Green

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Gaston Green questions

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Gaston Green?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Gaston Green and the rest of Essex. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gaston Green

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gaston Green use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace in Gaston Green?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 before you book.
