Coloured bath resurfacing for Deptford homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Deptford without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Deptford: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you work in Deptford?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Deptford and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SE8 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Deptford?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
