About our coloured bath resurfacing in Little Oakley
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically 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 typically put it right.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlord and trade work in Little Oakley
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Little Oakley
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Little Oakley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
What we are called out for in Little Oakley
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.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Questions from Little Oakley
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you cover Little Oakley?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Little Oakley and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
