Coloured Bath Resurfacing for Widdington homes
Our technicians come to Widdington for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
Coloured bath resurfacing in Widdington without replacing anything
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and people most frequently call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.
Why Widdington customers choose us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One price list for the whole UK

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When to call us in Widdington
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- 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
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Common questions in Widdington
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
