Coloured bath resurfacing in Longcross, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longcross as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Longcross. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole suite
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Longcross, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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, generally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
Longcross questions
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Do you work in Longcross?
We do. We send a technician to Longcross for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What else we do in Longcross
Should you replace it?

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Longcross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
