Coloured bath resurfacing near Soho

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Soho

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, across coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

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

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Soho, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Soho

Do you cover Soho?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Soho. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

When to call us in Soho

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

Look out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we will tell you if anything changes.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
