Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Great Maplestead
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Great Maplestead
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Great Maplestead get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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.

Advice
Great Maplestead: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Repair or replace in Great Maplestead?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
