How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Greensted Green

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs

  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, 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 you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Questions from Greensted Green

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Greensted Green.

Are you accredited?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover Greensted Green?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Greensted Green

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Greensted Green. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
