Coloured bath resurfacing in Saffron Walden, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Saffron Walden. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Saffron Walden
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Saffron Walden?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
