Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Barbican Estate
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

FAQs for Barbican Estate
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
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.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you come to Barbican Estate?
We do. We send a technician to Barbican Estate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
What affects the price in Barbican Estate
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Barbican Estate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
