Coloured bath resurfacing for Theydon Garnon homes

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Theydon Garnon

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Theydon Garnon, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What affects the price in Theydon Garnon

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Theydon Garnon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

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

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Theydon Garnon

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Theydon Garnon?

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Theydon Garnon. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Theydon Garnon: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Will there be a smell?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
