Coloured bath resurfacing in Bloomsbury

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Bloomsbury

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bloomsbury.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work in Bloomsbury?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Bloomsbury and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Bloomsbury without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Why Bloomsbury customers choose us

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Bloomsbury

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bloomsbury. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Bloomsbury?

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price
