Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Hawkedon
Coloured bath resurfacing in Hawkedon without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Hawkedon
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
What we are called out for in Hawkedon
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Common reasons people in Hawkedon contact us include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price covers travel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Hawkedon questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Do you cover Hawkedon?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hawkedon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What affects the price in Hawkedon
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hawkedon, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
