Repairing versus replacing in South Croydon
Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

About our coloured bath resurfacing in South Croydon
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Common call-outs are for a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last

- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in South Croydon
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a coloured bath be made white?
Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you come to South Croydon?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to South Croydon and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Landlord and trade work in South Croydon
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
