Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Tendring Heath

Coloured bath resurfacing in Tendring Heath without replacing anything

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins alike.

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

Tendring Heath questions

Do you cover Tendring Heath?

We do. Technicians travel to Tendring Heath from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

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

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Tendring Heath?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Honest limits

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)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Tendring Heath?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
