Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Mowden

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Mowden

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Mowden questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Do you come to Mowden?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Mowden and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

What affects the price in Mowden

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. 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.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

For landlords and businesses

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mowden use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Mowden?

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
