About our coloured bath resurfacing in Leaden Roding

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leaden Roding as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Leaden Roding

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area

When to call us in Leaden Roding

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Leaden Roding

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
