DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Balls Green, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Balls Green and across Essex. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Balls Green
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How quickly can you book me in?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, 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’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
