Coloured bath resurfacing in Ley Green, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Ley Green

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Ley Green. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Ley Green questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Hertfordshire.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Are you accredited?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Ley Green

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ley Green, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ley Green as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
