Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Bures
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Bures
Replacing a coloured suite means 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What else we do in Bures
Landlord and trade work in Bures
For anyone letting property in or around Bures, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bures as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Bures: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are there extra charges for Bures?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
