Coloured bath resurfacing for Hither Green homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hither Green

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are often asked to fix selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hither Green as everywhere else we work. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Common questions in Hither Green

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Are there extra charges for Hither Green?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Hither Green is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hither Green.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a day or two, depending on how many items, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  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. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Hither Green

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 are called about are:

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

Our hiring checklist

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hither Green

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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.
