Coloured bath resurfacing in Shalmsford Street, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shalmsford Street as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Shalmsford Street
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Shalmsford Street included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
