Bow questions

Do you come to Bow?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Bow?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Bow

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We’re often asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bow

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we are called out for in Bow

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

Common reasons people in Bow contact us are:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two days for a full suite from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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 price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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