Coloured bath resurfacing in Toot Hill, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Toot Hill and across Essex. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Toot Hill

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Toot Hill

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Toot Hill

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Comparing quotes

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

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 we will come back with a fixed figure.
