Coloured bath resurfacing for Primrose Hill homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Primrose Hill, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s 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 faded or patchy colour, on coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 work on in Primrose Hill

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

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Primrose Hill

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s typically the colour that dates them, not the condition.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole suite
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Primrose Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Primrose Hill: your questions answered

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in Primrose Hill?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Primrose Hill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
