Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Mile End

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, typically ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Coloured bath resurfacing in Mile End without replacing anything

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Our technicians work on whole bathroom suites, coloured shower trays and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mile End as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We 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.

Materials we repair

  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins

Common questions in Mile End

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

We cover the whole UK, including Mile End and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you cover Mile End?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Mile End and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mile End as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Mile End

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Mile End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Mile End?

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
