How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Beggar Hill
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Beggar Hill questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Beggar Hill.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole suite
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
