Coloured bath resurfacing in Wickham Bishops without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Wickham Bishops?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Look out for any of the following:
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re 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.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wickham Bishops. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Honest limits

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
