Coloured bath resurfacing in Monken Hadley, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Monken Hadley. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

For anyone letting property in or around Monken Hadley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Our hiring checklist

Monken Hadley questions

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you come to Monken Hadley?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Monken Hadley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
