About our coloured bath resurfacing in Great Wigborough
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Great Wigborough and across Essex. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d 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’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Great Wigborough
- Everything repaired in place
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price

Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Great Wigborough
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
