Coloured bath resurfacing for Great Thurlow homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Great Thurlow without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Thurlow

If you manage property in Great Thurlow, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Great Thurlow

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What affects the price in Great Thurlow

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

Questions from Great Thurlow

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What about the toilet?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
