The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Coloured bath resurfacing in Blackfriars, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Blackfriars as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Blackfriars
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackfriars use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Blackfriars
