Need coloured bath resurfacing in Harmer Green?

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Harmer Green without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Harmer Green and across Hertfordshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Harmer Green

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Harmer Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Harmer Green

FAQs for Harmer Green

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?

Across the UK, and that includes Harmer Green. Prices do not change with location.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can you quote from photos?

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Harmer Green, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price
