Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Rickmansworth

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Rickmansworth

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Rickmansworth

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WD3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Rickmansworth

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Rickmansworth

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Rickmansworth: your questions answered

Do you work in Rickmansworth?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Rickmansworth and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

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