Coloured Bath Resurfacing in Newham
We travel to Newham for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Newham
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newham as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Newham: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
All of Northumberland, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Newham
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Newham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Newham, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Newham
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
