Coloured bath resurfacing in New Barnet

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in New Barnet

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos 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.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

New Barnet: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you come to New Barnet?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to New Barnet from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why New Barnet clients choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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