Coloured bath resurfacing in Norton End

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Norton End

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Norton End

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Norton End

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.

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

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Norton End. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price
