Coloured bath resurfacing in Fyfield without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Fyfield questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
Everywhere in the UK, Fyfield included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Fyfield
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
