Coloured bath resurfacing in Little Walden

Coloured bath resurfacing in Little Walden without replacing anything

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. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Little Walden as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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 is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Little Walden?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Little Walden. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What we are called out for in Little Walden

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Little Walden

Can you do the toilet too?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Little Walden.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
