About our coloured bath resurfacing in Horsleycross Street

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Horsleycross Street

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.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horsleycross Street

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horsleycross Street as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

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

Questions from Horsleycross Street

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Horsleycross Street included. Travel is included in the price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What affects the price in Horsleycross Street

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you are in Horsleycross Street and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
