Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Acton

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Acton

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • 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

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Acton, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
