About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hamstead
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What else we do in Hamstead
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Hamstead
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hamstead use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole suite
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hamstead?
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
Hamstead: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Hamstead. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
