FAQs for Great Oakley
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Great Oakley and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you come to Great Oakley?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Great Oakley. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we are called out for in Great Oakley
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
