About our coloured bath resurfacing in Mashbury

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Mashbury

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Mashbury

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you are 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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Mashbury

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Mashbury. Our prices are the same everywhere.

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

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mashbury

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mashbury use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
