Related advice
Coloured bath resurfacing in Shotgate without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Questions from Shotgate
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover Shotgate?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Shotgate and the rest of Essex. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Shotgate?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
What affects the price in Shotgate
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Shotgate. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Shotgate, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. 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. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Everything repaired in place
