- Resurfacing from £350
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 frequently lifts.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in Gipsy Hill
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and people most often call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. 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.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Questions from Gipsy Hill
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Are there extra charges for Gipsy Hill?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you come to Gipsy Hill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gipsy Hill and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What affects the price in Gipsy Hill
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A year’s guarantee on all work
