Coloured bath resurfacing near South Acton

Coloured bath resurfacing in South Acton, done in place

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is usually done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, on coloured basins, whole bathroom suites and avocado, pampas and pink baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to South Acton. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in South Acton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for South Acton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

FAQs for South Acton

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

We cover the entire UK, including South Acton and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
