About our coloured bath resurfacing in Canonbury
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your N1 postcode, and we’ll come back with 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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Canonbury
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Canonbury use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair cannot fix
We would 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
