Coloured bath resurfacing in East End of London without replacing anything

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

East End of London questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in East End of London?

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

Look out for any of the following:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in East End of London

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for East End of London. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including East End of London. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole suite

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in East End of London, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
