Coloured suite to white in Woodham Ferrers, Essex
Resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white in Woodham Ferrers, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Woodham Ferrers
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Woodham Ferrers. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
