Coloured bath resurfacing near Wix Green

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Wix Green without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can typically put it right, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Wix Green

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Wix Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wix Green as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Wix Green?

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

Questions from Wix Green

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you come to Wix Green?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Wix Green and the rest of Essex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
