Coloured bath resurfacing near Grays

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Grays

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RM17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grays

For anyone letting property in or around Grays, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Grays

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Grays. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

When to call us in Grays

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Grays: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Grays?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RM17 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price
