Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Mills Hill
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Mills Hill
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Landlord and trade work in Mills Hill
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
