How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Eltham
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Eltham: your questions answered
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Eltham?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Eltham
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
