Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Totham Hill
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Do you work in Totham Hill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Totham Hill. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Totham Hill
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Totham Hill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Totham Hill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we are called out for in Totham Hill
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
