Netteswell questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Netteswell included. Travel is included in the price.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Netteswell
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Netteswell
For anyone letting property in or around Netteswell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Netteswell use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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 following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

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)

What affects the price in Netteswell
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Netteswell
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
