Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Bocking's Elm
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Bocking's Elm
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bocking's Elm as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
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.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Bocking's Elm
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What areas do you cover?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When to call us in Bocking's Elm
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Look out for these signs:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one 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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CO16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
