DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price

Common problems we fix in East End
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour

Landlords, agents and businesses in East End
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Questions from East End
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in East End?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SO41 postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.
Are there extra charges for East End?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
