How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Foster Street
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Foster Street?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Foster Street as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Foster Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Foster Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
