Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Coggeshall
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Coggeshall?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What affects the price in Coggeshall
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Coggeshall
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any 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, typically ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
