How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Old Coulsdon
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We are frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, in coloured basins, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Old Coulsdon and across Greater London. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Old Coulsdon questions
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Old Coulsdon
Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Old Coulsdon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Coulsdon
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
