Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Crays Hill
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Crays Hill questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you come to Crays Hill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Crays Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Crays Hill?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job.
