Coloured suite to white in Plashet, Greater London
Fixed-price coloured bath resurfacing in Plashet and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, typically ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

Advice
How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Plashet
A full suite is typically done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include faded or patchy colour and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When to call us in Plashet
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.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
- Faded or patchy colour
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the colour is matched
Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your E6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Plashet: your questions answered
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
