Questions from Coatham
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Coatham.
Are there extra charges for Coatham?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Coatham
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can typically put it right, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace in Coatham?

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Coatham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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.
Materials we work on in Coatham
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Coatham?
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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes one to two days for a full suite, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire suite
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
