Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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 photos, as it can add time.

Questions from South Ockendon
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you work in South Ockendon?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to South Ockendon and the rest of Thurrock. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Repair or replace in South Ockendon?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in South Ockendon, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
