Coloured bath resurfacing for Aldgate homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Aldgate without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Aldgate

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

We cover the entire UK, including Aldgate and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What about the toilet?

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

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. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your E1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Aldgate?

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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