Coloured bath resurfacing in Bentley Heath, done in place
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
FAQs for Bentley Heath
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common problems we fix in Bentley Heath
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A suite that doesn’t 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
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
