Coloured suite to white in Stambourne, Essex
Coloured bath resurfacing in and around Stambourne: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Stambourne, done in place
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Stambourne
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Stambourne
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do you cover Stambourne?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stambourne for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Stambourne?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
