Coloured bath resurfacing in Ramsden Heath

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Ramsden Heath

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ramsden Heath and across Essex. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Ramsden Heath

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Ramsden Heath

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Landlord and trade work in Ramsden Heath

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ramsden Heath use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: 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. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
