Work for landlords and builders
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 is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Wivenhoe Quay
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.

What affects the price in Wivenhoe Quay
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Wivenhoe Quay, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why repair rather than replace?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wivenhoe Quay. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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 following day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
