Coloured suite to white in Minnow End, Essex
Coloured bath resurfacing in Minnow End without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, then we come to you.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your photos

Coloured bath resurfacing in Minnow End, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Questions from Minnow End
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job 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.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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 next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
We price from photos 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’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Minnow End?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
Look out for any of the following:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire suite
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 to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Minnow End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
