Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Horseman Side

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

For a rural address like Horseman Side, we plan the journey and the visit in advance. Tell us about narrow lanes, long drives or parking, and we will do the rest.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy. Somewhere like Horseman Side needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the coloured bath resurfacing, so there’s no second trip.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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 day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

What affects the price in Horseman Side

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Horseman Side. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Horseman Side

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Horseman Side

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Landlords with property near Brentwood station (about 3.5 miles south-east) use us between tenancies, so coloured suites are repaired rather than replaced.

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
