Coloured bath resurfacing in Stoke-by-Nayland, done in place

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Stoke-by-Nayland get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Stoke-by-Nayland?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Stoke-by-Nayland

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Common reasons people in Stoke-by-Nayland contact us are:

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

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the entire UK

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Stoke-by-Nayland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
