Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hare Green

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We are often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Hare Green: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Are there extra charges for Hare Green?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • 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 booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace in Hare Green?

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. Prices start from £350. 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Hare Green. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hare Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
