Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Silver End

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Silver End

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Silver End?

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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Silver End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Silver End get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Silver End

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Silver End and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are there extra charges for Silver End?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common problems we fix in Silver End

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
