When to call us in East Ham
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

About our coloured bath resurfacing in East Ham
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in East Ham
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in East Ham
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Common questions in East Ham
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
