Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Messing
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Messing?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Essex.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Landlord and trade work in Messing
For anyone letting property in or around Messing, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins

- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
