Coloured bath resurfacing for Southend homes

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Coloured bath resurfacing in Southend without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’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)

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

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southend

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southend as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Southend

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Southend?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Southend and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Southend. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
