Coloured bath resurfacing in Lee

Coloured bath resurfacing in Lee without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Lee

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Lee

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, 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. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Each item is left to cure, generally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Lee clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Do you come to Lee?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Lee and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
