Common questions in South Kensington
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including South Kensington and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
About our coloured bath resurfacing in South Kensington
A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Typical jobs include a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, across coloured basins, coloured shower trays and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for South Kensington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire suite
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire suite, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Kensington use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the whole UK

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a day or two, depending on how many items. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
For a price in South Kensington, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
When to call us in South Kensington
Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. The problem is normally the colour, not the bath.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- Faded or patchy colour
- A suite that does not match a new bathroom
Comparing quotes
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
