About our coloured bath resurfacing in Lea
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Lea questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What else we do in Lea
When we would advise against a repair
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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Lea. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole suite
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DN21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a day or two, depending on how many items, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- The surface is prepared and primed.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Repair or replace in Lea?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lea. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Typically one visit, start to finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Lea
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
