How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Sawbridgeworth

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Sawbridgeworth questions

What do you need from me?

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

Do you come to Sawbridgeworth?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sawbridgeworth. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What about the toilet?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Sawbridgeworth included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Sawbridgeworth

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sawbridgeworth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Sawbridgeworth. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
