Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Workhouse Hill
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One price list for the entire UK
- One visit for most repairs

Landlords, agents and businesses in Workhouse Hill
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a day or two, depending on how many items, including clearing up.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Workhouse Hill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Workhouse Hill
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
