What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Upminster

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 won’t last.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire suite

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Upminster?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Repairing versus replacing in Upminster

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
