Coloured bath resurfacing near Merton Abbey

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Merton Abbey

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. We regularly repair whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Merton Abbey: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Merton Abbey and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Merton Abbey.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Merton Abbey?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Merton Abbey

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Merton Abbey use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

When to call us in Merton Abbey

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is usually the colour, not the bath.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour

What affects the price in Merton Abbey

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Merton Abbey. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairing versus replacing in Merton Abbey

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. 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.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
