About our coloured bath resurfacing in Kelvedon Hatch
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can normally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Kelvedon Hatch
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CM15 postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we’re called out for in Kelvedon Hatch
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Kelvedon Hatch get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
