Coloured bath resurfacing near Fitzrovia

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Fitzrovia

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. If you’re dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Fitzrovia

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Fitzrovia. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Fitzrovia clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

FAQs for Fitzrovia

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fitzrovia use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Fitzrovia. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Fitzrovia and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

We won’t take on work 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
