About our coloured bath resurfacing in Clacton-on-Sea
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Whether it’s faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can normally put it right, on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

- The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Clacton-on-Sea. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- A clear, close picture of the problem area

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Clacton-on-Sea?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually.
