Coloured bath resurfacing for Rivenhall homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Rivenhall

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Rivenhall

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

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

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

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Rivenhall questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Rivenhall?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Rivenhall is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rivenhall. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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