Coloured bath resurfacing for Herne Hill homes

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Herne Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Herne Hill

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. We regularly repair coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Herne Hill as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Herne Hill: your questions answered

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What we can’t put right

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’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Herne Hill

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Herne Hill clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

  • One visit for most repairs

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Herne Hill

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.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • 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

Before you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two days for a full suite. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
