Coloured bath resurfacing for Hackney Central homes

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Hackney Central

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

Coloured bath resurfacing in Hackney Central, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Hackney Central

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in Hackney Central?

We do. Technicians travel to Hackney Central from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Hackney Central included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What affects the price in Hackney Central

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hackney Central

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common problems we fix in Hackney Central

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

Look out for any of the following:

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