How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Hempstead
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We are frequently asked to fix faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Hempstead
Is it safe with children and pets around?
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 my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Hempstead?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CB10 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Hempstead, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hempstead use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Common problems we fix in Hempstead

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Hempstead. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- 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, generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
