About our coloured bath resurfacing in South Bank

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can help, on coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

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)

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

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for South Bank

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so South Bank is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Are there extra charges for South Bank?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Can you do the toilet too?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will advise honestly before quoting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Bank

Hospitality businesses can’t 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.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a day or two, depending on how many items.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
