Coloured bath resurfacing in Loftus without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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 booking.
What we work on
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole suite
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common questions in Loftus
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Loftus included. Travel is included in the price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Loftus?
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
