Coloured bath resurfacing for Harrow on the Hill homes

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Harrow on the Hill

A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Harrow on the Hill as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit

When to call us in Harrow on the Hill

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. We leave everything to cure, typically until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
