How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Walkern

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we’re called out for in Walkern

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Walkern

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Walkern clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walkern use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Walkern questions

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What information do you need?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Walkern, and we will reply with a fixed price.
