Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Kennington

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Kennington without replacing anything

A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and people most frequently call us about faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  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 day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. 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 are called out for in Kennington

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

FAQs for Kennington

Are there extra charges for Kennington?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll advise honestly before quoting.

When can you do it?

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

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Kennington?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Kennington included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Kennington. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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