Coloured bath resurfacing for Clapham homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Clapham, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Clapham

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repairing versus replacing in Clapham

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Clapham. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Clapham, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clapham

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
