Coloured bath resurfacing in Southfield

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Each item is left to cure, usually ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Coloured bath resurfacing in Southfield, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people get in touch are selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Southfield as everywhere else we work. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repairing versus replacing in Southfield

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Honest limits

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’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 photos.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Southfield, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in Southfield

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Southfield.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
