Coloured bath resurfacing in Hertford

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hertford

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Hertford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hertford: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
