How the visit works

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’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two days for a full suite, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, typically until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Coloured bath resurfacing in Southgate, done in place

A full suite is normally done in one to two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can help, on coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are 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.

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Whole bathroom suites

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southgate

Questions from Southgate

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What does coloured bath resurfacing cost?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

When to call us in Southgate

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Southgate?

Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our full price list or bath cost comparison.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Southgate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
