Related advice
Coloured bath resurfacing in North Weald Bassett, done in place
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What affects the price in North Weald Bassett
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
