Coloured bath resurfacing near Chalk Farm

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Chalk Farm

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re 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: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Chalk Farm

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Chalk Farm

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Chalk Farm

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

What about the toilet?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Repair or replace in Chalk Farm?

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. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Chalk Farm clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
