Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Balham

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Balham, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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 typically the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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, usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Balham, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Balham: your questions answered

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover Balham?

We do. We send a technician to Balham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Balham is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Balham?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Balham?

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
