Coloured bath resurfacing near Acton

Coloured bath resurfacing in Acton, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Acton and across Kent. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Acton questions

Do you come to Acton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Acton and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Acton?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TN30 postcode.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Acton

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

  • How to care for the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Acton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Acton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Acton

  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Acton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
