Coloured bath resurfacing in Cores End

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Cores End without replacing anything

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace in Cores End?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Cores End

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cores End

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cores End as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Cores End, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
