Coloured bath resurfacing in Long Ditton, done in place
Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Our technicians work on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Long Ditton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What affects the price in Long Ditton
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Long Ditton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
