Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Mount Bures

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Mount Bures

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Mount Bures

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

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

Repair or replace in Mount Bures?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Take a look at our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price.

Questions from Mount Bures

Do you work in Mount Bures?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Mount Bures and the rest of Essex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What about the toilet?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
