Coloured bath resurfacing near Little Wigborough

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Little Wigborough?

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Coloured bath resurfacing in Little Wigborough without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Little Wigborough questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What affects the price in Little Wigborough

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

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

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Little Wigborough, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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, usually until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Wigborough

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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