Coloured bath resurfacing in Chinatown without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We’re frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Chinatown
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Chinatown.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you work in Chinatown?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Chinatown and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace in Chinatown?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before booking
- We leave the room as we found it
Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays

Chinatown sits on or near the A4 and A301, which makes travel easy. We also cover the places around Chinatown: Soho (1 mile north), St James's (1 mile south), West End (1 mile north-east), Seven Dials (1 mile north-east) and St Giles (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cover Kensington (3 miles west), Shoreditch (3 miles north-east), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hoxton (3 miles north-east), Whitechapel (3 miles east) and Hampstead (4 miles north-west).

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What else we do in Chinatown
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Chinatown?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What affects the price in Chinatown
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Chinatown. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
