- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Coloured bath resurfacing in Ardleigh without replacing anything
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Ardleigh
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Ardleigh. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Ardleigh
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you come to Ardleigh?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ardleigh from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What a repair can’t fix

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
