Coloured suite to white in Balstonia, Thurrock

Coloured bath resurfacing in Balstonia without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Balstonia, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Balstonia. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balstonia use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What we are called out for in Balstonia

FAQs for Balstonia
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Thurrock. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
