Coloured bath resurfacing for East Dulwich homes

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in East Dulwich

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in East Dulwich as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace in East Dulwich?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for East Dulwich. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in East Dulwich

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s usually the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Landlord and trade work in East Dulwich

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Dulwich as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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.
