Coloured bath resurfacing in St Osyth, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Osyth as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

St Osyth questions

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in St Osyth?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CO16 postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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.

Materials we work on in St Osyth

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

Can I fix it myself?

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in St Osyth

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
