Questions from Fingringhoe
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
We cover the whole UK, including Fingringhoe and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Fingringhoe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Fingringhoe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Fingringhoe

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Fingringhoe?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
