Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Shaftenhoe End
We travel to Shaftenhoe End for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Shaftenhoe End
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Shaftenhoe End
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the whole UK
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
See our prices page or bath cost comparison.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire suite
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shaftenhoe End, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Shaftenhoe End
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shaftenhoe End use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 you book.
