Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Monkey Street
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re often asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Monkey Street
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work in Monkey Street?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Monkey Street for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
Across the UK, so Monkey Street is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

What else we do in Monkey Street
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire suite
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you do not 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 a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Monkey Street

Repair or replace: which is better?
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Monkey Street customers choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
