Coloured bath resurfacing near Sible Hedingham

Coloured bath resurfacing in Sible Hedingham, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Homes around Sible Hedingham range from cottages to newer houses. Older ones may still have cast iron or steel baths, which are well worth keeping.

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

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Sible Hedingham

Is it worth repairing old coloured suites in a period home in Sible Hedingham?

Typically: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. We’ll give you an honest view from photos.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover Sible Hedingham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sible Hedingham and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Sible Hedingham included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. For a home around Sible Hedingham where the suite is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.

Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

Common problems we fix in Sible Hedingham

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.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

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

For older houses around Sible Hedingham, near landmarks such as Church of St Peter, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and coloured bath resurfacing gives it years more use.

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it. In a smaller place like Sible Hedingham, parking is rarely a problem. If you are down a lane or a long drive, tell us when you book and we’ll plan for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
