Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Barnes

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the entire UK

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Barnes

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, in coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and whole bathroom suites.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Barnes and across Greater London. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Barnes

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

Barnes: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Are there extra charges for Barnes?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Barnes?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Barnes from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What affects the price in Barnes

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Barnes, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Barnes

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Look out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any 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. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
