Coloured bath resurfacing for Belsize homes

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Belsize

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Belsize without replacing anything

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Belsize

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Belsize. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes one to two days for a full suite. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Belsize

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we are called out for in Belsize

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered

Questions from Belsize

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
