Coloured bath resurfacing in Fullwell Cross, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Fullwell Cross

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. 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.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Coloured shower trays

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Fullwell Cross, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Fullwell Cross

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you come to Fullwell Cross?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Fullwell Cross for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Fullwell Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
