About our coloured bath resurfacing in Little Leighs

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Little Leighs and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When to call us in Little Leighs

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Little Leighs

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Little Leighs questions

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

We work UK-wide, so Little Leighs is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Little Leighs. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
