Coloured bath resurfacing near Hackney Wick

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hackney Wick

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

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

Choosing a repair company

Hackney Wick: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

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

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Hackney Wick?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Hackney Wick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hackney Wick. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Hackney Wick

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
