Coloured bath resurfacing in Hellman's Cross, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Hellman's Cross, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Hellman's Cross: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you come to Hellman's Cross?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hellman's Cross from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Hellman's Cross. Prices don’t change with location.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hellman's Cross
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hellman's Cross use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
