Coloured bath resurfacing in Chelmsford without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Everything repaired in place

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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)

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

- One picture of the entire suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size

Chelmsford questions
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?
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 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, then guarantee it for a year.
