Coloured bath resurfacing for South Hampstead homes

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in South Hampstead

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, on avocado, pampas and pink baths, coloured shower trays and whole bathroom suites.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a day or two, depending on how many items. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare 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, normally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for South Hampstead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our full price list and bath cost comparison.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including South Hampstead. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire suite
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Across the UK, so South Hampstead is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How much does coloured bath resurfacing cost in South Hampstead?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
