About our coloured bath resurfacing in Kilburn

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kilburn questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Kilburn, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

When to call us in Kilburn

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

Look out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
