Coloured bath resurfacing in Little Bardfield

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Little Bardfield

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Little Bardfield

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

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

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What affects the price in Little Bardfield

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
