Common questions in Jack's Hatch
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Jack's Hatch?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Are there extra charges for Jack's Hatch?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
We work UK-wide, so Jack's Hatch is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Usually one visit, start to finish

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Jack's Hatch

- Coloured shower trays

Common problems we fix in Jack's Hatch
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Jack's Hatch, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
