Coloured bath resurfacing in Hendon without replacing anything
Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our repair technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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 before booking.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Hendon
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
Questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Hendon
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NW4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Hendon
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Hendon?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hendon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
