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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Great Bentley

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Great Bentley, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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, normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Great Bentley questions

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Great Bentley.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job without visiting.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Great Bentley?

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • 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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
