Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Hackney Marshes

- Resurfacing from £350
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hackney Marshes
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire suite
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
FAQs for Hackney Marshes
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Hackney Marshes and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
- Items cracked right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, typically until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
