Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Willian

What we cannot put right

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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Willian without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

FAQs for Willian

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it messy?

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

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

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in Willian get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite.

  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. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
