- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour

Coloured bath resurfacing in Kew without replacing anything
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. If you are dealing with a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Other services in Kew
Kew: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are there extra charges for Kew?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Kew
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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 you book.
Materials we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kew
If you manage property in Kew, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
