Baths in Newington Green homes
In the older streets of Newington Green, around landmarks like Newington Green Unitarian Church, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and coloured bath resurfacing gives it years more use. Landlords with property near Canonbury station (in Newington Green itself) use us between tenancies, so coloured suites are repaired rather than replaced.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Newington Green
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you have a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, we can help, whatever the material.
In a London neighbourhood like Newington Green, many of the coloured suites we see are in flats, conversions and period terraces. Getting a bath down the stairs and a new one up is hard work in a flat, so dealing with it where it stands is generally the sensible choice.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we are called out for in Newington Green
Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is typically the colour, not the bath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Faded or patchy colour
- 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
As a London address, Newington Green can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole suite
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Newington Green, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newington Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

My house in Newington Green is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

What we do, step by step

Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it. In Newington Green, we are used to flats, stairs and tight hallways. Everything we need fits in a few cases, and the room is sheeted before we start.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- 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.

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. In a London home like many in Newington Green, replacing a suite also means getting the old one out and the new one in, often up stairs, plus parking for the fitters and room for any waste. Coloured bath resurfacing in place avoids all of that.
Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
