How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Abbey Wood
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Abbey Wood
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work in Abbey Wood?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Abbey Wood and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Abbey Wood is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we are called out for in Abbey Wood
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- 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

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
