Coloured bath resurfacing in Little Waltham

Coloured bath resurfacing in Little Waltham without replacing anything

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Questions from Little Waltham

Which areas do you work in?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

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

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CM3 postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can landlords book you?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

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

Our hiring checklist

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Little Waltham

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