Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Little Venice
A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are faded or patchy colour and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Little Venice and across Greater London. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- 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.
- Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

FAQs for Little Venice
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do the toilet too?
Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work in Little Venice?
We do. We send a technician to Little Venice for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
