Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Shalford
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Everything repaired in place

Shalford: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, 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 you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Shalford.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Shalford included. Travel is included in the price.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
