About our coloured bath resurfacing in Hornsey

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally 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, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays.

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

FAQs for Hornsey

Do you cover Hornsey?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hornsey from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I get a price for coloured bath resurfacing in Hornsey?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss 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 anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Repair or replace in Hornsey?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Hornsey clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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