Coloured bath resurfacing near London Colney

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in London Colney

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for London Colney

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in London Colney.

Do you come to London Colney?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to London Colney and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including London Colney and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
