Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Harlton

- Resurfacing from £350

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Harlton
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Harlton questions
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CB23 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.
What affects the price in Harlton
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Harlton. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Harlton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Harlton
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
