Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Lemsford

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Lemsford

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lemsford and across Hertfordshire. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lemsford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Lemsford questions

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Lemsford?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your AL8 postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Lemsford. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Lemsford

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Common reasons people in Lemsford contact us are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
