Coloured bath resurfacing near Ingatestone

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Ingatestone

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ingatestone. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Ingatestone, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
