Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Blackmore
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Blackmore, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Blackmore
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Blackmore
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Blackmore?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Blackmore from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Blackmore
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Blackmore. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Blackmore. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Blackmore
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
