About our coloured bath resurfacing in Aldwych
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your W1D postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aldwych use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aldwych: your questions answered
Do you cover Aldwych?
We do. Technicians travel to Aldwych from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
