Trusted coloured bath resurfacing in Richmond

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Richmond

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not 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)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire suite
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we do, step by step

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 we start. Allow a day or two, depending on how many items, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix 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 following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Should you replace it?

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
