Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Leigh-on-Sea

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace in Leigh-on-Sea?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Leigh-on-Sea questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover Leigh-on-Sea?

We do. We send a technician to Leigh-on-Sea for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Leigh-on-Sea. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Leigh-on-Sea. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SS9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
