How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Harold Wood
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Questions from Harold Wood
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Essex.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
We cover the entire UK, including Harold Wood and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour-matched on site
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

The process

- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
