How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Rettendon
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

When to call us in Rettendon
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.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Rettendon
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Rettendon
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
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.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Rettendon: your questions answered
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Rettendon?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What areas do you cover?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Landlord and trade work in Rettendon
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
