Need coloured bath resurfacing in North Mymms?

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Coloured bath resurfacing in North Mymms, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

North Mymms questions

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What about the toilet?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for North Mymms. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in North Mymms

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
