Coloured bath resurfacing in Pentonville, done in place

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Pentonville as everywhere else we work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

FAQs for Pentonville

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you work in Pentonville?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pentonville and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a day or two, depending on how many items, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Pentonville

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

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Pentonville?

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Pentonville clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Can I fix it myself?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
