Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Theydon Bois homes
We travel to Theydon Bois for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Theydon Bois
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What else we do in Theydon Bois
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Theydon Bois use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
