Coloured bath resurfacing in Marks Tey without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Marks Tey. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Common questions in Marks Tey
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Marks Tey
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What affects the price in Marks Tey
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Marks Tey
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- A suite that doesn’t 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 to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare 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.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
