Coloured bath resurfacing for Blackney homes

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can give you a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Common questions in Blackney

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Blackney

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Blackney

  • Coloured basins

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 liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackney as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace in Blackney?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
