About our coloured bath resurfacing in Silvertown

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across coloured shower trays, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Silvertown and across Greater London. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Do you need coloured bath resurfacing in Silvertown?

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

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

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two days for a full suite for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key 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.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

FAQs for Silvertown

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire suite and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

We cover the entire UK, including Silvertown and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

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

Can a coloured bath be made white?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Silvertown, and we will reply with a fixed price.
