Coloured suite to white in Downham, Greater London
We travel to Downham for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Downham
A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Downham
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you come to Downham?
We do. Technicians travel to Downham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What else we do in Downham
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When to call us in Downham
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Downham
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Rooms protected and left tidy

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How it works
You don’t need to empty 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 normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key 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
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
