What we are called out for in Polstead
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Comparing quotes
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Coloured bath resurfacing in Polstead, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Polstead as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What else we do in Polstead
Polstead and the surrounding area
Polstead is about 7 miles east of Sudbury, in Essex. We agree a date that works for you, and you’ll know when to expect us, so you’re not left waiting in all day. We work in all 644 towns and villages in Essex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 55 miles away.
Our technicians cover all of CO6. That includes homes on Rockalls Road, Heath Road and Polstead Hill and the roads around them. If you’re just outside Polstead, we cover Bell's Corner (1 mile south), Polstead Heath (1 mile north), Hadleigh Heath (2 miles north), Shelley (2 miles east) and Lower Layham (2 miles north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Colchester (8 miles south), Camulodunum (9 miles south), Halstead (12 miles west), Greenstead (8 miles south), Tiptree (15 miles south-west) and Wivenhoe (10 miles south).
Around Polstead
We visit homes around The Cock Inn and Church of St Mary and the streets around them. Well-known places in the area include Lindsey Castle (3.7 miles north). Open spaces near Polstead include Groton Wood.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire suite
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Polstead customers choose us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Questions from Polstead
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two days for a full suite, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
