How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Thorpe-le-Soken
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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)

Can landlords book you?

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two days for a full suite. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CO16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
