What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire suite
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Fobbing
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer
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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare 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 following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Fobbing
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Fobbing?

What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Fobbing and the rest of Thurrock. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
