When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Rook End
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Rook End
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

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 with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business
See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage

Common questions in Rook End
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rook End
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
