Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Eel Pie Island

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and coloured basins.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Eel Pie Island

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Eel Pie Island and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
