- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Castle Hedingham
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Castle Hedingham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
