Repair or replace in Clapton?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Clapton
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Clapton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Honest limits
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.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
