DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Tiptree Heath without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CO5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Repair or replace: which is better?

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tiptree Heath. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
