Coloured bath resurfacing for Leyton homes

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Leyton

A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What affects the price in Leyton

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most customers in Leyton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a day or two, depending on how many items. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

What we can’t put right

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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Leyton questions

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Leyton and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
