Coloured bath resurfacing in Sheering, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Sheering and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Sheering customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour-matched on site

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of 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.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM22 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Sheering

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Sheering questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you come to Sheering?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sheering for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
