How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Southend

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not 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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Southend

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

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Southend

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SE6 postcode.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
